Female Art Rising Festival

25 - 29 April 2025

 

Female Art Rising is an international arts festival established by the Association Kontakt with the goal of creating an empowering platform that elevates the work of female artists.  By encompassing a wide range of topics and formats, the festival encourages a dynamic and multifaceted approach to promoting female artistry, highlighting the invaluable contributions of women artists to society, fostering dialogue on gender equality, and strengthens the skills and visibility of both female and male artists.

​

The Festival creates space and opportunities for connection and collaboration within regional and international art communities. The festival’s program includes film screenings, theater performances, concerts, and exhibitions.

​

A key part of the festival is the educational segment dedicated to young talents. Through masterclass sessions, workshops, discussions, and mentoring programs, young talents will have the opportunity to engage with festival guests—internationally established colleagues who, through their artistic creation and work, have addressed issues of gender equality and highlighted the role of women in society. The festival’s educational segment contributes to the professional development of future generations in the creative sector.

 

FAR is not just a cultural event, but also a  contribution to shaping a more just and inclusive world.

​

The second edition of the Female Art Rising festival will take place in Sarajevo from 25 - 29 April 2025.
